What snowboard should i buy?

for freestyle boards stick to these brands forum nitro burton academy k2 5150 rome

It seems like you aren't too sure as to what you will be doing exactly...so I'd recommend an all mountain board to begin with. The rental shop employees generally know what they are doing, so for you I would say go 157-158. You will not need a wide board. As for a specific board, it all depends on budget. I'd personally recommend any of the new lib tech/gnu boards. The ones with Banana Tech and the MTX. They usually tell you what type of riding they are meant for in the description, so you best just filter through and see what your left with. Rome is also worth checking out

First off, dude, 4 years to start park, in my first season I could do 360s. And for a board, my first one was a salomon pulse it's okay but not amazing, i'd stay away from morrows(crap) and burtons (expensive) so nitros, gnu's, lib-techs, salomons, and romes are all pretty kosher. K2's and forums are kinda expensive but not as bad as burton.

i think burton its the best snowboard... shaun white rides a burton snowboard alot and so do i. i used one and its really cool!!!!
